(For the uninitiated, a green light is basically an action taken in the present that will help your future self. The book is also stuffed with folksy aphorisms, like “I’d rather lose money havin’ fun than make money being bored.”) Now, perhaps in search of even greener lights, McConaughey has taken his repartee to the tech industry. Earlier this month, he was a featured speaker at Dell Technologies World, the computing giant’s showcase event, in Las Vegas, … [Read more...] about Matthew McConaughey explains his tech investment strategy

Amazon boss Jeff Bezos has taken a dig at Twitter for not having an edit button yet, amid the commotion surrounding its deal with Elon Musk. Musk, whose deal to acquire Twitter is presently on hold, has advocated for the feature’s availability on the social network. On May 14, Bezos made an error while responding to a tweet about how companies should go about internal communications. “I see a lot of organizations relying too much on slide decks relative to actual written memos for their internal communications,” writer Matthew Yglesias wrote. “Presentations are great but prose has a unique value in clarifying thought and creating an unambiguous record.” In response, Bezos wrote: “Slide decks hide can shallow thinking.
